\ vmm PAGE 7 - PLAINDF AI.RH - WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22.1982 Injury Sours Warrior Girls First Win, Edge Grant CINDIKINSALA Although the McHenry girls' varsity basketball team gained a victory by defeating Grant 37-34, they also suffered a Br eat loss. Karen . Kaiyavicius suffered a hairline fracture to her ankle, causing her to sit on the sidelines for possibly the rest of the season. At the 3:54 mark in the first quarter, Karpavicius was fouled from behind by a Grant defender, while still in the air completing a layup, and was slammed to the floor. Last year, Karpavicius was on the all-conference and all-county teams and was the leading scorer and rebounder for the McHenry team. In the first game this year, she was high scorer with 12 points. Going in for Karpavicius was Lynne Podpora, who did a fine job fulfilling Karpavicius place, according to Warrior Coach Pat Wirtz. "There is no way a team can replace a player such as Karen. However Lynne Podpora came in off the bench and played an excellent game," said Wirtz. , The game's first basket was made by Terri Blume at the 6:54 mark giving McHenry a 2-0 lead. With a strong 1-2-2 defense, McHenry kept Grant from scoring. After the foul injuring Karpavicius, Podpora made two free throws for a 4- 0 lead until Grant finally scored at the 3:30 mark. With 45 seconds in the first quarter, Grant pulled off another basket, tying the score at 4-4. This tie lasted only until Greta Larsen got a hold of the ball and put it through the hoop as the buzzer sounded to give the Warriors a 6-4 first quarter lead. The second quarter startied with Podpora making a free throw to put McHenry ahead 7-4. Grant then narrowed the score to 7-6, but Cissy Pinkstaff followed immediately with a basket of her own boosting the score to 9-6. The McHenry offense was much quicker and sharper than in their last game. "The offense is looking much better inside because there is more movement of the ball," Wirtz said. Renee Mezzano made two free throws, to give the Warriors a 11-6 lead. Seconds later MezzanO was fouled again and made another free ^hrow to give the Warriors a 12-6 lead. With five minutes left, Grant closed the lead to 12-9 on a basket and a free throw. „ Podporar jhit again on a drive, put­ ting McHenry ahead 14-9. However, this was the last Warrior scoring, while Grant added four free throws and a basket to take a 15-14 halftime lead. McHenry's shooting was still not up to par, making only four of 26 field goals. "Our shooting is much better than last week, but we still have a long way to go," said Wirtz. The strong McHenry defense and deliberate ball-handling kept the third quarter scoreless for the first two minutes. The Warriors regained the lead at 16-15 on a Podpora basket at 2:22. Grant then came back and made two free throws and again went ahead 17-16. McHenry met their challenge with three quick unanswered baskets. Cissy Pinkstaff, in perhaps her best game of her career, hit a 20 footer from the side. Terri Blume followed with a 10- footer, boosting the score to 20-17. Greta Larsen soon added two points and minutes later hit again with a great inside basket. With two Grant free throws, the score was 24-19 in McHenry's favor. Grant added another basket and another free throw, but McHenry was determined to keep the lead as Mezzano's basket gave the Warriors a 26-22 lead at the end of the third quarter. The final quarter of the game proved McHenry was out to win. With only 13 seconds lost in the quarter, Grant made a free thow to come within three points. Pinkstaff came back again with a basket and and Blume made a 25 footer from the side, but Grant also picked up four points and the Warriors held to a 30-27 lead. With McHenry putting on a tenacious full court press, Grant was unable to cross the time line and suffered a turnover. However, McHenry was soon called for a foul and Grant made another free throw closing the margin at 30-28. But that was as close as Grant would come as Andee Norton made a free throw. Mezzano made the play of the game as she stole the ball and drove down the length^ of the floor for a layup making the score 33-29 at the four minute mark. With 38 seconds left, Grant made one free throw and was called on the second with a line violation. After a McHenry timeout, which Wirtz instructed the girls to "control the <bj|ll, no fouls, "Larsen is fouled. Laraen was fouled again on a rebound and made two free throws. With 23 seconds left in the game, Grant scored on a layup and the Warriors had a 35- 32 lead. Blume sank one free throw and Mezzano was fouled with 19 seconds left and added a free throw to give the Warriors a sound lead with 14 seconds left to play. The Warriors stalled the rest of the way. "What kept Grant in the game is their free throws and our lack of free throws," said Wirtz. "If ours would have been better, we would have had an easy victory, instead it was close. Also with our top player out, the girls had to learn to work without her. But our defense was aggressive, our man to man improved and the girls did better inside and that is how we won."

STAFF PHOTO -- MIKE LAMB Scots Lose 3rd Straight J Victory once again eluded the grasp ; of the McHenry County College Scots as they chalked up their third con­ secutive loss, falling to Sauk Valley nM- This drops the Scots to last place in I he Skyway Conference with an 0-3 record. The Scots diJjplftyed a prdlrfimig first half out shooting and out Abounding Sauk Valley. Despite the :Ws Steve Murphy's two three point plays and Mark Wilkenson's 11 points, *-Sauk concluded the first half with a thVee point lead 42-39. McHenry's Coach Bruce Harbecke 1 was upset with the lack of shots by his players. "We passed the ball four limes while we were within three feet of the basket, instead of shooting the ball." MCC opened the second half jum­ ping into a 47-44 lead as Murphy swished five fast points for the Scots during the first two minutes. With 13 minutes remaining in the game, Sauk responded and tied the game 50-50. As the time began to run out Sauk Valley's Mark Hansen moved Sauk into a three point lead 61- 58. Once again charity tosses in the last two minutes allowed Sauk Valley to widen their - margin. Sauk's Jim Tourtillott and and Tod Dowdy suc- ceded in sinking J[ive out of six free throws to ice their first conference -victory. V f UK ^ (Continued from pago 6) Warren had padded, falling short at the quarter's end 74-60. Warren's victory boosted their conference record to a perfect 7-0. "The Bluedevils deep bench adds to their overall strength. They have 10 very good players and they just wore us down," said Beck. --- The Skyhawks will return to con- fernce action following the Northern Illinois Classic Tournament in Hampshire which begins as the 'Hawks open up against Streamwood Tuesday at 7:45 p.m. Their next conference game will be Friday, Jan. 7 against Round Lake. SHAW MEDIA NEWS SERVICE HARVARD -- A philosopher once supposedly said: "A tie is about as exciting as kissing your sister." He was wrong -- at least in the opinion of wrestling coaches Jim Patton of Woodstock and Dick Holt- freter of Harvard. Patton's Blue Streaks and Holt- freter's Hornets each piled up 132.5 points to share the championship of Harvard's 16-team mat tourney which concluded Saturday. It was the first title for either school in the prestigious meet's 16-year history. The tourney traditionally draws top large school mat talent from throughout northern Illinois. Crown took third place while defending champion Sycamore finished in seventh, far off the pace. "I would have to rate this as one of my top highs in coaching," said Patton. "For the wrestling in this particular area, that is one of the better tournaments." "I don't think a tie is like kissing »» stock was a thrill. In 16 years we've never taken home the gold." Woodstock earned its title share the hard way. The Streaks had no in­ dividual champion, but eight of their 12 grapplers placed in the top six spots in individual weight classes to gain the necessary team points. Wood­ stock's only title contenders -- 132- pounder Joe Rizzo and heavyweight Carnell Washington -- were beaten in the finals. Harvard's championship road was also difficult. Trailing the first-place Blue Streaks by 10 points entering the final round, the Hornets picked up four team points on a 9-6 victory by 105-pounder Dan Muehl and earned six more whn 185-pounder Dave Holtfreter", the coach's son, pinned his opponent with 1:34 remaining in the second period. The third-place Vikings ended up with 122.5 team points. Belvidere came in fifth with 111 while Crystal Lake South finished fifth with 98.5 points. Among other teams were: eighth, 84; Aurora West, ninth, 79; Round Lake, 10th, 72.5; Rockton Hononegah, 11th, 57.5; Sycamore, 12th, 57; Rochelle, 13th, 55.5; Wheaton-St. Francis, 14th, 50; McHenry, 15th, 40.5; and Crystal Lake Central, 16th, 28.5. ~~ Mike Love was the top finisher* for the McHenry Warriors with a fourth place at 132 pounds. Love defeated Dennis Grant of Sycamore in the preliminary round Friday, but then lost to Jake Yetterburg of Harlem 17-1 in the semi-finals. Love recovered with a 6-1 win over Tom Lehn of Elkhorn a id lost to Jeff Putnam of Harvard for third place, 2-0. Heavyweight Dan Mohnen captured a sixth place for the Warriors. He received a bye and "then defeated James Bryant of Rochelle in the preliminary round on Friday. Mohnen was pinned by Carnell Washington of Woodstock at 1:20 in the semi-final round. Mohnen pinned Tracy Dalen of Harvardip,the wrestlebacks, but then Woodstock Rolls Over Warriors The McHenry Warriors started their match against rival Woodstock in competitive fashion, taking two of the first three matches, but the bot­ tom fell out from there. The Warriors lost to Woodstock 45- 15 Thursday for their first Fox Valley Conference loss of the season. The Warriors are now 4-4 overall. Woodstock is 2-0 in the FVC and 8-2 overall. Russ Bunday at 98 pounds for the Warriors, opened the match pinning Tim White of Woodstock at 3:54. The Streaks came back and got a 9-2 vi-jtory from Todd Borchardt at 105 pounds over John Keevil.
